Fluid forum view allows members only to get right to the meat of this community; the topics. You can toggle between your preferred forum view just below to the left on the main forum entrance. You will see three icons. Try them out and see what you prefer.
Fluid view allows you, if you are a signed up member, to see the newest topic posts in either all forums (select none or all) or in just your favorite forums (select the ones you want to see when you come to Fishing Minnesota). It keeps and in real time with respect to Topic posts and lets YOU SELECT YOUR FAVORITE FORUMS. It can make things fun and easy. This is especially true for less experienced visitors raised on social media. If you, as a members want more specific topics, you can even select a single forum to view.
Let us take a look at fluid view in action. We will then break it down and explain how it works in more detail.
The video shows the topic list and the forum filter box. As you can see, it is easy to change the topic list by changing the selected forums. This view replaces the traditional list of categories and forums.
Of course, members only can change the view to better suit your way of browsing.
You will notice a “grid” option. We have moved the grid forum theme setting into the main forum settings. This makes it an option for members only to choose.
This screenshot also shows the removal of the forum breadcrumb in fluid view mode. Fluid view remembers your last forum selection so you don’t lose your place when you go back to the listing.
The benefit of this feature is easy to see. It removes a potential barrier of entry for members only. It puts the spotlight on topics themselves, and not the hierarchical forum structure. You as a member will enjoy viewing many forums at once and switching between them without leaving the page.
We hope that fluid view, the new functionality is an asset that you enjoy .

Do you guys use the peep with the rubber hose attached to it? I got one on my new bow because i like the idea that it will always be open, BUT i have had some problems... I got the bow at the end of June, and i have had it retied twice, a total of three times being tied. it keeps moving up on me. I have to bring in my bow tonight to have the FUSE stringshox replaced on my new Hoyt (the bottom one is being cut in half by the string and the top one, the two biggest "lobes" on it broke off). I plan on having the peep tied one more time where i got the bow, then i plan on either going somewhere else if it moves again, or put on one of the ones without the tube. The tube is also causing some discoloration on my cable from shooting.

I'm not a fan of having a peep with the tubing... For a couple of reasons...

A)Its added weight to the string, and does slow the bow down(yet probably only 1-5 fps...)

B)It can fail at any time(this is probably the biggest reason)

c)added noise, it does store some of the bows vibration and there is a sound to it.

IF you have a quality string on your bow(most bows do not come witha very high quality string.. its a lot like crankbaits, good bait, poor hooks in the package)If yoru bow has a quality string, once you get your peep set it should rotate around the same every time. It does take some time to set it.. but once its there, you should be fine unless you increase or decrease your bows poundage.

For hunting, the larger the hole the better for light penitration... for target, the smaller the better for accuracy.

The peep that I have actually has screw in attachments that changes the size of the hole.. that way when I am shooting a 3D shoot I can put a small hole in.. but when hunting I can put the largest in.

Is your peep secured on your bow string with serving? Sounds to me like it isn't. As long as you have secured your peep with serving, then it shouldn't move. And it doesn't matter much if the elastic band moves a little on your cable, as long as it stays in the same place on your string.

Thanks for the input, keep it coming. FYI It was tied in with serving. It is the new Hoyt Vectrix, with the Fuse custom strings it comes with. I don't know how those are in quality, you tell me. The discoloration on the cable i am pretty sure is from the tube hitting the cable when i shoot, and the repeated impact is causing a little discoloration, not too big a deal i think, i just put a litle wax there to calm the fuzzies and hopefully it will help. The first time the peep was tied in i had problems withe the tubing, i think they cut it too short, it would come untied, and pull off the peep, but only when i shot, never on the draw or while aiming.

Update:

Last night i went to the pro shop i bought it from they replaced the string silencers with the same Fuse ones it came with, the guy there said they were better than the limb saver string leeches, so that is what i put on. they also retied the peep, hopefully it stays. if not i will either go somewhere else and have them tie it, or put on the no tube kind. It is getting within in a month of opener and i am getting nervous about changing things and not getting used to them before season starts. especially since my shooting time will drastically reduce starting in september when i go back to school.

I have used a tube on my peep all of my shooting days, 35 years. I have never had a problem with the tube to date. Yes, I do change it every two years and always carry a spare lenght along. Peep is always straight and never an issue with using it.

My son was down at the boat launch checking out the ice and found a couple of really nice items. Identify them and I'll make sure you get them back! Crystal Lake, Burnsville. He left a note on a vehicle in the parking lot also!

We are going out to Linwood Friday late afternoon to check ice thickness. I will have an accurate report sometime around 6pm. Going out there Sat. afternoon to fish. Will mention any other ice condition issues I might find Sat.

Boom here it is everyone!!!
